Something occurred to me when sittin on my world today; well a few things
did actually.

One was how I really should clear up the small pile of nail clippings that I
had neglected to clear away from last night which were looking rather
unsavery next to the packet of prawn cocktail quaver crisps (potato chips)
on my desk that I was about to devour.

But not only that, the realisation that I wanted to share with you all was-
How about a World Owners Group?
This could be benificial in many ways, networking between world owners could
provide valuable resources to help each other.
World owning and building can be a difficult job and a central forum as I am
propsing to set up could be instrunmental in aiding networking and getting
things done.
Not only could it provide practical advice and support, but builders and
modellers could advertise their services for off alpha building- even
specify what sort of project they are wanting to work on - plus the worlds
get a platform to let the universe know what they are working on should they
choose.
Dedicated projects that need builders or modellers could be set up faster by
owners and ideas can be turned into reality.. well.. virtual reality.. heh..
i made a funny..
Anyways- as a group it could also be a great networking tool in obtaining
practicle advice on what to do and how to approach some of the social
situations that can arise aswell- it is a great deal of trust we give to
people who we let build in our worlds after all- and that they put in us for
not deleting or destroying thier work.
So thoughts and ideas please.. and if anyone is interested in helping please
let me know...

Many thanks,

Heretik :)

I have to agree that while the worldbuilders newsgroup is a handy tool, I
think a more central and easier to access group would be a better asset to
the community. After all, how many people even know the newsgroups exist,
much less read them. Looks like the same small handful of people compared to
the large AW community.

Perhaps a worldbuilders forum would be more accessible, and allow better
contact between world owners, as well as builders.

I think you've got a great idea cooking here Heretik. I look forward to
seeing what comes of it.

We can also set up a worldbuilders mailing list, like yahoo groups
has.

I am able to set one up if you think it will work.

Sounds great! A website can have the forum of different set topics and also
links to worlds that would benefit world owners, like free object worlds and
Object Yard worlds, etc. I'm sure AW hosting and modelling companies will
want to advertise too if you wish to do that. But I think the more free help
the best for a group like this. Put some thought into it, for example, do
you want worlds of ALL ratings, G, PG, PG-13, R, X?

Sounded like a good idea, so I thought I'd make some space in my existing
forum.

Can easily adapt as needed/requested.

Might just be what keeps me around AW..

"Immigration Officer: Warning: your citizenship expires in 19 days. To

Hadn't really had any reason lately (mostly to creativity block and a bit of
funding issue) to stay around, but if there is enough interest, I'll at
least
keep the forum running for you all. :)

Thats very good of you Bastillion.. I have actually been working on a few
sections over the past few weeks that I was had set up last night, although
I am sure we can all join forces in some way, I hope so, for the community..
With reference to Kennith's post I personally think it is important to cover
all world types- being unbiased-So X worlds included! I would hope this
would be a resourec that is useful and accessable to All worlds.. Mauzes
pages are the indespensable resource into world owning ofcourse.. and I
would hope with permission we could have links to this sort of resource...
contributions for everyone on this would be great - Ive set up a basic forum
that I think covers most things already.. although if there are any
suggestions on sections and catagories feel free to suggest things, so lets
see how we fare... feel free to register and hopefully create a useful
resource :)

Will move over to a paid forum if it takes off :)

Cheers
Heretik.
